BART station

Four men accused of a frightening shooting during rush hour last Friday near the Powell Street BART station in San Francisco made their initial appearance in court Wednesday and were ordered held on $2 million bail.

Police in Burlingame believe a 40-year-old man who was found dead in his apartment earlier this month likely died because of a head injury he suffered in a fight outside a San Francisco BART station three days earlier.

The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what apparently was an incident of sexual battery on a 25-year-old woman Wednesday afternoon in unincorporated Walnut Creek near the Pleasant Hill BART station, sheriff’s officials said.
